Yes, I will be one year older on Saturday, Nov. 1. Thank you, Mother, for holding off one more day to bring me into the world. Who wants to be a Halloween baby!
2. What's your favorite candy? Would you say you have a sweet tooth?
Most anything chocolate is good for me. I could eat my weight (and that is getting higher every year) in my friend's Millionaire bars. Thank you, Judy!
I wrote last week about our Greek grandson-in-law, who runs his family's patisserie, which is one of the best in Athens. He brought our granddaughter and our adorable great-grandson to Dallas last week, and they were so thoughtful to bring gifts. One is a little jar of the most wonderful chocolate-covered hazelnut balls. This is my new favorite. We are allowing ourselves only one a day.
I do have a sweet tooth that is being controlled these days.
3. Somewhere you've been recently that had you feeling 'like a kid in a candy store'?
I hate to bail out on this one, but I haven't been anywhere that meets this description lately.
4. What do you think is the most effective way to make a positive change in the world?
Live and love as Christ did.
5. Do you like surprises?
6. Insert your own random thought here.
Now, how about the cutest little 3-year-old boy's school picture and his sassy little 1-year-old sister?
Have I told you lately how wonderful our great-grandchildren are?
Happy birthday to you! I'm glad you were able to meet your great-grandson. You have a full house , and yes they are such a blessing. A pastry chef in the family seems like a wonderful thing to me : ) Enjoy your day and I hope you're celebrated big.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, I had to chuckle about you saying thank you mom for hanging in there so you were not born on Halloween. ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt was fun to read and see the photos of your family.

Happy birthday for Saturday! I hope you have a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteI am not a risk taker either, I feel like I am too much of a planner.
Ohh! Those hazelnut balls sound amazing!
How lovely to meet your great grandson. He does look adorable.
Your Greek Great grandson is adorable as are the others pictured here. Cute photo of you with the little Greek. Great answer to the fourth question. Happy early birthday to you. Hope you are celebrated well!
ReplyDelete“Planned spontaneity” is a clever way to refer to surprises.
ReplyDeleteLike you, I have not felt like “a kid in a candy store” for quite some time. But that’s okay as long as life is going along without too many surprises.
You have beautiful great-grandchildren.Thank you for sharing them on the Hodgepodge today. Happy Birthday on Saturday! We change our clocks to Standard Time this weekend, so I guess that means you get an extra hour's sleep for your special day!
